Universal Design and Accessibility Renovations For Your Home

Not all homes are created equal, and if you’re making renovations to your home to integrate universal design and improved overall accessibility, you want a solution that is going to consider your home’s particular features. Fortunately for you and your family, the professionals at Ottawa Home Improvements have been doing renovations with their customers’ particular requirements in mind for over 35 years.

While there is no cookie-cutter for our renovations, Accessible design does have a few principles. At the very least, properly designed homes should demonstrate flexibility, simplicity, ease of use, and tolerance for error. That’s why OHI takes into account you and your family’s individual needs when putting together a renovation plan.

Whether you need to widen doors and hallways to accommodate wheelchairs, walkers and strollers; re-plan space to improve access; install slip resistant surfaces, you’ve come to the right place. These renovations are started with the goal of increasing your home’s ultimate value, by integrating utility with elegance. Says Teresa Manchester, Lead Designer & Estimator: “We don’t just consider the function, we also consider the form.” Our discerning customers get a beautiful space, tailored to their preferences.

But they also take it a step further: Universal design doesn’t do much good if you can’t use your house during the renovations. Whereas some companies may leave dust and debris laying around as they complete your home, the staff at Ottawa Home Improvements prides itself in cleaning up after the day’s work, and leaving your home clean and free of obstructions. A visit to the testimonials section of our website will show that customers are incredibly happy with the quality of their service and especially the hassle-free approach to renovations.
